1) EVFlag of course can be used in the API Style.

For example see here:

<http://www.valentina-db.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=paradigma:public:en:docume
ntation:api:vtable_class:structure_methods:numeric_fields#vtable.createshort
field>

You can see it usage in CreateXXXXField() methods

CreateShortField( 
    inName as string,
    inFlags as EVFlag = fNone,
    inMethod as String = "" ) as VShort


So you can write:

    tblPerson.CreateStringField( "fldLastName", EVFlag.Indexed )



2) Please note, Valentina provides not OO Model, but OR Model,
    i.e. Object-Relational.

3) in section of WIKI / Articles you can find article about models.
